" You know one of the key things with an elevator in -- residences. Can you fitted it. And this originally in the plan was just of the closet space. Absolutely what are you don't have in my head house -- house up on the roof right correct and you don't have a pit down into the basement correct. Yeah one of the nice things about this there is no -- there's no machinery necessary is included in any existing installation just as of this the OK of the goddesses we can bring -- that absolutely -- down. Food autism goes along that track back there that's correct there's two rails -- had a stud behind the long. There are right along -- all trolley on the back lower by a winch system. And it's connected with two quarter aircraft cables gets to the bottom and stops automatically right. And we have a gold. -- simply open up and you can get on the car yeah now in addition to this game you also have an exterior door when installation is completed right that's correct of these secondary -- outside to make sure nobody could get underneath the car all the cars operating and you get your basic up down on and off an emergency. Switch and Unita -- here yet -- in need of following this case anything whatever happened that's access for the person from inside the look okay. Now how can you accomplish this copy you have this kind of an elevator without having to have is to without having to have a big -- works up on the roof. We'll simply by impacting the design of the whole thing and and including the drive system right on top of the tracks inside the -- way. And making the design of the bottom of the are structurally sound enough to get that low enough where you have access to that is -- carried away right. So can we do look at the work so it absolutely posting a look at it right over here but you've got an extra OK haven't actually brought along the system drive system for the elevator. Includes day helical war in here that's an eighty to one ratio of years. And that's encased in oil -- exactly right there's an oil fill on this side as you can see we have to drop a quarter inch steel aircraft cable here and drive system is a three quarter horse motor to the 110 circuit it's just 110 regular house call this morning -- what required for -- left -- And other man that's relatively simple to the small brake on the -- stop lift right as it approaches the landing and effect we can get missile testing and attract good life. There's a motor controls and a whole list let's give it -- All right so that when she's an action. These aircraft -- are even going out in one direction or having any other way exactly bag in the other way. Is -- braking system involved yet -- gets up on the front. With the -- dozens of breaks and stops the motor. From turning right here and it actually release -- well if you ever needed relief to break for any reason OK to it's -- it's really separate. What about should you begin an emergency situation we're somehow the cables are going to give. What prevents it from coming crashing down. Just in case the cables would break which is Dow closed at 7000 pound -- and scrape -- off would have me explain package here and what's on this laying there. Part two. Hardened steel valves on each side of the safety. Cables connected to -- you see here -- shoulder -- this is the track that would be at the top this actually goes inside the track. And a car rides on this up and it okay. So the cable connects to this. -- the way to the car pulls on this whole system down. The cable should -- Pops right into place these locked into the track and a car would stop this villagers stopped instantly. Exactly. If there's a power failure or any other reason port to stop you've got a telephone and they're so that you can and that essentially the phone is essential for that call for help. Well I know that they haven't totally completed installation brick and we try to contain absolutely. The -- yeah this tenacity. 500 pounds and how -- I -- 75. Let's try to anyway. Okay we have shut this show at the gate. And pressing a button. She's OK so. 500 pounds you know. Actually it's big enough for someone in a wheelchair and rarely would you have anybody that would mean that kind of wind situation that's correct."
